How has volume 2 ever helped you in flight? Seriously, QRH and land if necessary is all you need to know. I like knowing systems but with our fleet diversity teaching and memorizing is superfluous. Fly the airplane first. Three guys trying to solve a problem with a light is not a good thing. Land and let the mechanics maintain the airplane. It's really that simple now.
